Video Reel

Below are samples of my projects.

Mutually Inclusive - Race Together

Seen through the eyes of residents, artists, and shopkeepers, the film gently traces gentrification and community-led alternatives, inviting you to notice the small, consequential shifts that shape a neighborhood’s story.

For the full episode: Mutually Inclusive #105

I co‑produced the episode, worked as one of three videographers on location, and edited the final hour‑long documentary.

One on One with Becky Magura

Filmed in motion and full of quiet moments, the conversation with Ken Burns and guests traces the gentle rhythms of storytelling and public life—an intimate look at craft, place, and the people who carry a story forward.

I produced the segment, shot the interview on a moving bus as one of the camera operators, and edited the final piece.

Tennessee Tech Study Abroad - Business Class

A quiet, journal‑like reflection, the piece follows small moments of discovery, a conversation, a landscape, a page turned, that together shaped how I saw learning, place, and myself.

I shot the footage, wrote the script, and edited this passion project reflecting on what I learned during my MBA study abroad in Ireland.

ABC 57 - Winter Winter Promo

Against the luminous sweep of Lake Michigan, the promo quietly captures winter’s particular moods and the steady work of local weather reporting; clear, calm updates that help a community move through the season with confidence and care.

I wrote the script, shot the footage, edited the piece, and created the graphics.

Life of a Freshman

A playful, affectionate portrait of first‑year life, the piece celebrates small traditions, bright beginnings, and the quiet courage of starting something new, an invitation to notice how a campus becomes a home.

I shot most of the footage and edited the highlight video.

Day in the Life: Mechanical Engineering - Mechatronics

Through Zak Henson’s day, the film gently traces the quiet rhythms of study, collaboration, and hands‑on learning, an intimate portrait of curiosity in motion.

I asked interview questions, ran audio, and edited the piece.

WCTE Digital Shorts - American Portrait

A companion to the national series, the short weaves intimate, local moments into a quiet portrait—small memories and everyday voices that together map how people hold and tell their stories.

I edited the digital short.

Paying For College

Playful graphics meet practical clarity as the piece answers five of the most common FAFSA questions, an inviting, lightly paced guide that makes a complicated moment feel manageable and quietly hopeful.

I shot the segment, ran audio, and edited the final game‑show–style video.

Tennessee Tech Engineering for Kids

Through Ben’s bright curiosity and the careful work of engineering students, the film quietly shows how small, intentional collaborations can open new possibilities for a child and for a community. It’s a gentle portrait of problem‑solving, care, and the everyday ways learning becomes meaningful.

I shot the footage, edited the piece, and helped ask interview questions.
